$1000 extra for hardwood in kitchen, worth it?

Got a 250 sqft kitchen that I'm trying to decide whether to put laminate myself or hardwood installed by a professional. The cost difference between the two options is around $1000, maybe $1500?

House ARV is in 180-200K range...

Hardwoods, it is a sizzle item. Although not adding any over all value, the property could be more marketable hopefully bringing you an offer. Depending on your financing, a $1000 now might save you a hard money payment or three.

Also I think the difference should be less, an additional $1000-1500 sounds high.
